EAST LANSING, Mich. – Jalen Watts-Jackson had 10 seconds in the national spotlight.
On Wednesday, the red-shirt freshman Michigan State defensive back finally spent some hard-earned time in the limelight.
Although his improbable 38-yard fumble return for a touchdown provided the decisive points for the Spartans as time expired in Saturday night’s unbelievable 27-23 victory at Michigan, Watts-Jackson has been otherwise preoccupied.
Watts-Jackson dislocated and fractured his hip as he crossed the goal line and was rushed immediately to the University of Michigan Hospital, where he underwent surgery to repair the injury.
